I recently graduated in May and am no longer in classes so have a lot of flexibility to meet your pups walking needs! My only obligation this summer is studying so would be away for part of the day, but never more than your pet is used to!

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I respect your dog’s space & boundaries. I also respect their feeding and walking schedules. I know some pets are either newly getting used to or relearning separation from their owners, so I find it is best to stick closely to their schedules so they remain unstressed and comfortable.

Information Brenda U. would like to know about your pet

No preferences here! Big or small, I have always had a passion in understanding and caring for dogs of any age and breed. I’d love to know their daily routine, just so they are kept as comfortable as possible while you’re away!

A typical day

I love long walks/hikes, so would love to take them on one during the weekends with your permission! I am still exploring the Philly area so would love to do so with a furry friend :) After work, if they still have the energy to play with some toys (tug of war, fetch, tricks/training, etc) I make an effort to take the time to schedule that in for them.

Pet care experience

Hi all! My name is Brenda, and I'm based in the Fairmount neighborhood. I adore dogs and cats and have been pet sitting on Rover for nearly a decade. I've also fostered both through AWLA NoVA and ACCT Philly, which has deepened my passion for helping animals find loving homes. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space while you're away. I have experience with senior pets and those requiring daily medications. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and communicative — you can always expect photo updates and attentive care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away!

Brenda is the best! Our pets absolutely love her and our house was immaculate when we came home.

Brenda was so lovely! She met with me beforehand, asked great questions, checked in periodically and gave our dog Ziggy so much love (+ some extra love to our cat G, too). Highly reliable! Would love to book her again.

Brenda was great with my two pups! She’s easy to communicate with and provided regular updates and pics. I recommend Brenda to anyone needing a pet sitter!

Brenda always does an amazing job with our pup Cleo. She is so patient with her as our dog takes a bit to warm up to new people. Always send pics, and does long walks. She always leaves my house extremely clean as well. We will continue to use her!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
